Towards decoding the coupled decision-making of metabolism and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer
Cancer cells have the plasticity to adjust their metabolic phenotypes for survival and metastasis. During metastasis, a developmental program known as the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role. There is extensive cross-talk between metabolism and EMT, but how this leads to coordinated physiological changes is still uncertain. The elusive connection between metabolism and EMT compromises the efficacy of metabolic therapies targeting metastasis. In this review, we aim for clarifying causation between metabolism and EMT based on recent experimental studies and propose integrated theoretical-experimental efforts to better understand the coupled decision-making of metabolism and EMT.

Towards control of cellular decision-making networks in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition
We present the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) from two perspectives: experimental/technological and theoretical. We review the state of the current understanding of the regulatory networks that underlie EMT i…
Decision MakingQuantitative model for $^{13}$C tracing applied to citrate production and secretion of prostate epithelial tissue
Healthy human prostate epithelial cells have the unique ability to produce and secrete large amounts of citrate into the lumen of the prostate. Citrate is a Krebs cycle metabolite produced in the condensation reaction be…
Implications of the hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal phenotype in metastasis
Understanding cell-fate decisions during tumorigenesis and metastasis is a major challenge in modern cancer biology. One canonical cell-fate decision that cancer cells undergo is Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT…
Learning Goal-based Movement via Motivational-based Models in Cognitive Mobile Robots
Humans have needs motivating their behavior according to intensity and context. However, we also create preferences associated with each action's perceived pleasure, which is susceptible to changes over time. This makes …
Decision MakingMechanobiology of Collective Cell Migration in 3D Microenvironments
Tumor cells invade individually or in groups, mediated by mechanical interactions between cells and their surrounding matrix. These multicellular dynamics are reminiscent of leader-follower coordination and epithelial-me…
